Two girls desperate for a chance at a new life. Twin angels with the power to save. Can love work a miracle for all of them?

Maddy didn't think her rotten life could get any worse until her whole world collapsed underneath her. Lissy's life is perfect, except for the fact that she's dying. What neither of them are prepared for is how the half-angel Engel twins will change both of their lives.

The only thing twins Maddock and Cheydan Engel have in common is a devilishly handsome face, but when they each meet a girl in desperate need of their help, they both find themselves willing to do just about anything to save them, even if it means sacrificing their one chance at true love.

Can Maddock convince Maddy that she’s worth loving? Can Cheydan persuade Lissy not to give up on life? When they’re standing at the precipice, only a miracle can save them. Good thing the twins have one up their sleeve.

Unique

A romance with a twist of angels on the side. An interesting concept of angels with a specific gift instead of being all powerful.

This is the 3rd book in the Dating with Destiny series and another amazing one.
This book is about the twin brothers Maddock and Cheydan and two very different girls.
Maddy is down in her luck and run away from home, Lissy is very sick and the only thing that can make her better is a donor kidney.
Maddock longs to save Maddy and Cheydan wants to risk everythig for Lissy.
I loved their stories!!

I still enjoy this series very much. I will admit that this so far is my least favorite one. However I still enjoyed it very much. My only complaint was Maddy. She was the one character that made me mad. Thankfully she got her act together in the end.

Double the Trouble by Kellie McAllen a five-star read that will make you see double. This is the third book in the Celestia Divisa Collection and what a great story, this was written so brilliantly, each character tells their own story, but each story interacts with each other. The four main characters in this they book are the Engel twins Cheydan and Maddock as well as Lissy and Maddy, they each have lives to live and obstacles to overcome, the girls could have easily given up and just withered and at times they may feel like doing just that, but they don’t. When they meet each twin, they are given another reason not to give up and the story unfolds another level, much like an onion the layers are revealed, and the story gets deeper and more intriguing. The Engel twins have always had a soft spot with me and I was glad that we got their stories. Thank you once again Kellie for being amazing at this writing gig.

Maddock sees a girl in the grocery store that looks like she needs help. He is always ready to help anyone, but this girl seems special. Maddy is having so many problems and she can't go back home. She is staying in the library during the night and looking for a job during the day. Maddock always wants to help her. What is his angle? What does he want?
Cheydan takes a internship in an adoption agency and while there, a girl walks in. Cheydan knows instantly that she is special. Lissy is looking for her birth family. She needs a new kidney and hasn't found a donor match yet. She looks to Cheydan to get the info for her. Maddy and Lissa are in need of a miracle. Can Cheydan and Maddock give them that miracle?

This is yet another lovely novel from Kellie McAllen. A unique story, that gives you just enough description to imagine the places it develops in, without going over the top in description. The main characters pull you into a world of love, mis-trust, hurt, betrayal, friendship and faith. The story made me question my own underlying feelings when I look and judge people as we all do. Everyone's circumstances are not carried around on a sandwich board around there necks. The main boy characters in this story give without question, shame we can't all be half angels.
A good author makes me able to feel the characters emotions as if they was my own, and Kellie McAllen is certainly one of those who can pull you in and wring you out. Excellent !!!

I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

This book was a little too matter-of-fact for me. I kind of enjoyed it, but I had trouble getting past the fact that the writing made everything feel a little fake. I also had a hard time believing anything the characters were feeling was genuine, because their emotions were stated rather than shown (like 'Cheydan felt happy' or 'Maddy felt sad'). It also felt a little too cringe-worthy for me. And I was disappointed that I guessed the big reveal at the end early on, cause it's really obvious the whole way through. And I didn't like that I was right about that either, because it made that particular element of the story feel like too much. So yeah, it was an okay read but kind of hard to get into and a little disappointing.

Fantastic read. Well written, with a great plot and characters. I was engrossed from start to finish. Maddock and Cheydon are twin brothers and they are half angel/half human. Maddock meets Maddy at the grocery store he works at. He notices her come in and get a can of tuna and a single banana 3 days in a row....she is homless. Maddock wants to help her even though she keeps pushing him away. Cheydon meets Lissie at his job an adoption agency when Lissie comes in asking for her birth parents information because she is sick and need a transplant. Cheydon bends the rules but it is a dead end. She will die without the transplant, Cheydon wants to help but she keeps pushing him away. I love the twist at the end.... I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

Double the Trouble is a five-star must-read. The third of the Celestia Divisa Collection that was so brilliantly written. Each character has a story to tell that gets across as you read but each story interacts with each other so seamlessly in one grand picture.

Although this is the first book in this series that I've read, I enjoyed it very much. And I look forward to reading the rest. Maddy was absolutely infuriating at times with her unintentional shenanigans. So much so that I realized that apart from Maddock, pretty much no one else could tame her. But thankfully she got her act together in the end.

Finally, I'd say this is a highly recommended series. If you haven't read it yet, hurry up and do so... It'll be worth it.

I really enjoyed reading this book. This is a clean paranormal romance involving the two divisa brothers and girls they have met around the same time. I would recommend this book to fans of angels and those looking for a sweet romance.

Loved this book

I lived this book and you can read it without any knowledge of the other books in the series. It will warm your heart and at times get you fussing at the characters for their actions, Maddy mostly. But it only makes you be more involved with getting to know each character. I recommend to Antoine that loves a sweet story with a twist.

It's funny how it never takes me very long to read a book by Kellie McAllen but please don't take that as a bad thing....it simply means she is very good at what she does! This is a YA clean romance book and is the third installment of the Celestia Divisa Collection and follows the twins Maddock and Cheydan who have previously appeared in the other two installments.

Maddock and Cheydan have been funny, lovable characters from the beginning and I have been eager for their story of finding their soul mates and this one certainly does it justice! Maddock finds Maddy, a runaway scared that she can't be loved simply to be loved and it's down to Maddock to convince her otherwise. While Cheydan, stumbles across Lissy trying to find her biological family to help in her fight for her life and it's up to Cheydan to help in her fight. Both girls need miracles and both fall for angels who may just be able to help in their plights.

This isn't a straight forward tale and has many ups and downs with an occasional twist thrown in for good measure in typical Kellie McAllen style....she likes to keep you on your toes! It is however, simply a sweet and honest love story of two brothers eager to help the women they fall in love. It's worth reading, as all in the series are. It's nice that other characters from the previous books make an appearance and also nice to see
how friendship, loyalty and love remains strong in the Celestia Divisa.

A great addition to the series!

Double Blessing is a wonderful addition to the Celestia Divisa Series. It is a clean, sweet romance full of warmth, love, deep emotions, and hope. The characters are well-developed, the book is well-written, and the story is engaging. I was drawn into the story from the beginning and really cared for the characters. It is so nice to read stories where people develop a relationship without sex being a factor. It is mentioned that Maddock and Cheydan don't know how long they can hold out but it is revealed in their thoughts instead of their actions.

There were some typos and grammatical errors but not enough to detract from the story.

Double Blessing is part of a series and characters from previous books are included in this book. This story is a standalone but I recommend reading the entire series. If you like good, clean romances with a touch of heavenly magic, you will enjoy the Celestia Divisa Collection.

This third book in the Celestia Divisa series is as good as the first two. This time, the story follows twins Maddock and Cheyden Engel.

Both boys are attending college, Cheyden majoring in psychology and Maddock in business. Maddock is working at a grocery store and volunteering at a homeless shelter when he meets Maddy, a 17 year old runaway who left her aunt's house after her aunt's boyfriend stole the money she was saving for college and tried to sexually assault her. She found out also that he had stolen all of the money in her bank account. Now she is desperate for a place to stay and money for food. Maddock is drawn to help her, but she is leary of his generosity and afraid that to him, she isn't special. However, Maddock has never felt like this about a girl.

Meanwhile, Cheyden is interning at an adoption agency. On his first day, Lissy walks in, looking for information about her birth family because she has kidney disease and desperately needs a transplant. Unfortunately, her adoption was closed, and to get the information about her birth family, she will have to petition the court, and that will take months, time she may not have. She gets up the nerve to ask Cheyden to get the information for her, which will be breaking the law. He hasn't been able to stop thinking about her, but isn't sure he should put his internship, and possibly his future, at risk. When he finds out she is dying though, what else can he do?

If you enjoy good clean romances with couples who get to know each other in the right way, you will enjoy Kellie's books. This third in the series could be read as a standalone, but since some of the characters from previous books make an appearance, it's much better to read the series in order. I'm really looking forward to the next installment in this series.

Double Blessing is a clean and sweet YA / NA romance, that will have your emotions on a seesaw, with some heart wrenching moments and then giggling at the humor. Twin brothers, Maddock and Cheydan, and Maddy and Lissy's stories are filled with the challenges. This story is about miracles and eternal love, that once you start reading you won't put it down.

Congrats to Kellie for another hit with book 3 in the Celestia Divisa series. This one might be my favorite so far. Even though the Engel boys are identical twins, they have unique personalities and sometimes opposite approaches to life situations. Watching them each cope with teen romance issues was fun.

I was so upset at Maddy’s situation in the beginning, and kept waiting for justice on her behalf. But what I really wanted was revenge, and that is not in keeping with the uplifting tone of this series. I realized the plot twist just pages before it was revealed. It was so perfect, I would have been disappointed if my suspicion was not correct. Not to fear, Kellie has it all under control and knew exactly where her story needed to go.

Love this clean romance series by Kellie McAllen. I read a lot of YA & also like the spicy, but these are squeaky clean. The amazing thing is that they are not boring, as readers of adult romance might expect. They hold my interest through a very well told story line that captures your interest immediately and has enough intrigue to keep you turning the pages and reluctant to put it down. I devoured this book, almost in one sitting. Was going to give this 4.5 stars, but writing this review made me realize how well Kellie accomplished the intended goal, which definitely means 5 stars. Nothing I would change in this story.

I encourage everyone to try this series. The half-angel theme is never preachy or off-putting, and receives even less attention in this book than the previous ones. I received an ARC from the author in return for an honest review. My rating reflects that I am a Kellie McAllen fan, not that the book was free.

This is my first book by Kellie McAllen. This book was a page turner, just to see what happens next.

Maddy is still in school, living with her aunt/foster parent. She works a part-time job along with odd jobs to help put away money so she can move out after graduation and go to college. She knows it's a work in progress, but she's pushing forward. Circumstances change and Maddy ends up in the streets with no job, she's now homeless. One day, she encounters Maddock at the grocery store. He's so polite and generous, Maddy finds it difficult to believes it's sincere and that Maddock doesn't have other motives.

Maddock's twin brother Cheydan is a intern at an adoption agency. His first day there he meets Lissy, who is trying to find her birth mother due dire changes in her own life. Lissy just wants to find her family to see if they can help her and she believe Cheydan is the key to that. These brothers attempt to move mountains to help these girls that have stumbled into their lives.

Kellie has written a truly wonderful book and I love the way the brothers interact with their friends, their families and those they attempt to help throughout the book. Add in the celestial aspect, it's a truly unique storyline. If you are looking for a book with some life lessons along the way to being on the path you're meant to find, this book is right up your alley. A truly great read!!

(I received a copy from the author in exchange for my honest review)

Double Blessing by Kellie McAllen is the third book in the Celestia Divisa Collection and starts off soon after the end of Loving Kindness.

Maddy was at the lowest point of her life when she ran away from home. She met Maddock at the grocery store he works at. Maddock is a Celestia Divisa - half angel, half human.

Maddock's twin brother Cheydan started his intern at an adoption agency when he met Lissy who's desperately trying to find her birth parents. Lissy is sick and hoping her birth family can help her out.

Maddock started falling for Maddy while Cheydan was doing the same for Lissy. Both Maddy and Lissy needed the twins' help.

This book is yet another sweet story with a happy ending and I'm really enjoying this series and will continue supporting this author.

I received this advanced copy of this book free from the author in exchange for an honest review.
What a fun book! This story was simple in that there were no triangles and the angst was not simply teenage angst, but problems that even mature adults would and do struggle with. The love stories were very clean (as was the language) and sweet. The religious ideals were present and relevant to the characters (they are half angels) and the story, but not preachy which was nice. The only reason this story got 4 stars was that there are some editing/proofreading errors (missing words, switched pronouns, etc...), yet these did not keep me from enjoying the story. I highly recommend the story.

Every book in this series is marvelous, but Kellie McAllen did a great job of writting the twins stories. I loved how we see each twin help the person they fall in love with. Each of these two girls has had a life of suffering, one physically, and one emotionally. Maddock and Cheydon are incredible young men, and help these young women in spite of being pushed away. The story takes an unexpected twist as we find it really is a small world, as the twins and their girlfriends find they are linked more than they knew. This was a beautiful book about kindness, friendship, and love, and never giving up on someone.

This was a great story. It was a warm and sweet romance. To hear the struggles that the two girls went through played out like a movie. I loved Maddock, Mandy, Cheydan, and Lizzy's characters. The were kind, loving, and thoughtful. I loved how Kellie McAllen incorporated God into the story. This was very well written and the story flowed wonderfully. The characters may have been younger than I would normally read but I really couldn't stop reading because I just had to find out what happened. This is a must read from a frea author. It is one that you can't put down. I received a copy for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this story and the characters.
Maddy had a hard life, and when she thinks things are about to improve, everything becomes very bad in her life, until she meets Maddock, the angel who does everything for her to be happy.
Lissy, on the other hand, had a comfortable life, but with serious health problems, could never have a normal life, and when Cheydan arises in her life, there's hope that everything will get better.
The characters are amazing and the story is well written. The plot twist caught me by surprise, but it was great!
I loved everything from the beginning.

I just love this series. Books are loosely connected but can be read as stand alones. In this story we meet two new female characters, Lissy who is dying from kidney disease and Maddy who is a runaway who left behind a very bad home life. Maddock and Cheydon are twin brothers who are Celestia Divisa, or half human/ half angels who are dawn to these young ladies. Can love and hope bring all these young people together. This book is very interesting with two main plot lines running at the same time. I enjoy this author very much and find her books hard to put down. I will read more from her in the future.
